Volatile Organic Content (VOC)
Compliant Coating Systems for Carbon Steel Exposed to the STS Launch
Environment - Application, Laboratory and 18 Month Exposure Results
February 1993By: Louis MacDowellAbstract This report is to document the 18 month performance of Volatile Organic Content (VOC) compliant coating systems for carbon steel exposed to the Space Transportation System (STS) launch environment. This test program was initiated in 1990 to identify corrosion resistant coating materials for use at KSC that would comply with proposed Clean Air legislation. In addition to the exposure results, the application reports and the laboratory testing of the coating materials are also included. The laboratory testing included heat testing, scrape adhesion testing, and Elcometer adhesion testing. The exposure testing also include topcoat gloss testing at 6, 12, and 18 months. As a part of this study, testing was conducted to evaluate inorganic zinc primer cure time before topcoating and scribe performance.
